THE CHINESE REPUBLIC.

A DETERMINED ASSEMBLY. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, August 23. The 'Daily Mail's' Peking correspondent advises that at a meeting of all political parties in the Assembly it was decided to proceed with the impeachment of the Premier (Tang Shao Yi) and the Minister of War (Tuan Chih Jui). The opinion at Tientsin is that Dr Sun Yat Sen is foolhardy in proceeding to the capital. DR .MORRISON ON THE SITUATION. LONDON, August 23. 'The TimesV correspondent at Peking (Dr Morrison) writes optimistically on the outlook in China. He says the conditions everywhere are improving, and deprecates the "alarmist reports forecasting trouble between the north and south. The President (Yuan Shih Kai) looked forward with pleasure to Dr Sun Y'at Sen's visit. The relations between the President and General Li Y r uan Hung are most cordial. The two Htipeh generals who were executed had secured many followers at Wuchang, and had they been executed there General Li Y'uan Hung's difficulties would have been increased ; therefore the}' were executed at Peking. The Advisory Council was composed of men of the highest intelligence. It was mischievously absurd to say that the Tung Men Hui party were seeking a civil war, and the statement that the Premier (Tang Shao Yi) had fled from Peking was untrue and disgraceful.
